softly

softly
come to life
stirring gently in the morning warmth
consciousness arising....slowly, quietly,
climbing up from the depths of sleep

gradually
the dream-mist slips away
leaving pools of reflection....
memories of before-that-happened
imaginings of what-is-still-desired
watching silently as the visions
swirl and drift...
join to one

the past and the future
become now
softly

lovely Cdn. that felt like a morning with no alarm clock, or what I think that kind of morning would feel like.

Thanks, MH. I'm glad you liked this one. :)

Softly is the face you show the world,
a face intelligent and kind, but
beneath that face
what a clamour!

Mild-mannered university student on the outside...
A seething volcano on the inside....

Yup. You got it, babe. :D

Meeee tooooo, Amp. Great way to start the day..... slow and easy.... If I can, I'll set my alarm an extra hour early, just so that I can indulge. :)
